Any good personal injury stories?!

I'm bored at the office, so let's have some fun...

When I was about 10, I was taking a shower and stood up on the side of the tub to adjust the shower head. I slipped and hit my head on the sink.

The pain was hell on earth, but I shook it off... until I went to dry off my face and pulled away a towel full of blood! omfg I'd busted the corner of my right eye socket and required nine stitches. It was AWFUL. I still have a slight scar, but my brow hides it.

...And you?

Once, when I was about 9, I was swinging on a pullup bar, well i lost my grip and fell flat on my back, which knocked the wind out of me, I panicked since this had never happen to me before. I went into the room where my mother was and she started laughing at me, of course she knew what happened, but at the time I thought she was the most evil woman on earth.

While playing high school football I jumped over a pile and somebody hit my legs, causing me to land directly on top of my head. Upon landing on my back I flipped around on the ground like a fish out of water. the whole crowd fell silent as i felt this awful burning sensation in my neck like somebody was holding a match to me. it was awful. after a few minutes of laying there i was able to walk off the field and was taken to the Emergency room. I was so upset because after the game I was going to buy the new Nine Inch Nails CD (Broken) the day it came out and now I couldnt get it. i spent the whole night in the emergency room to find out nothing was broken but I had pinched a nerve in my neck. i was in the worst pain ever for the next few days and had to wear a soft neck brace. i took the next day off school and bought the CD.

Moonbeam could tell you dozens of them. Fortunately he's no longer here to do it, because I get sick to my stomach when I hear about them. They're gruesome biggrin

I was 4 and went to the park to play with my cousins. I sat in the sandbox and started playing. A few minutes later I heard someone call my name and when I turned around *BAM!* I was hit in the mouth by a metal see-saw and it knocked out my front teeth. They didn't grow back for 4 years. What happened was that I started playing away from everyone else and 2 cousins came over and got on the see saw totally ignoring that I was right behind it!

And then I had to go to the dentist to stitch up my gums and one tooth was hanging. The dentist came from behind me and gave me a shot in the roof of my mouth...WITHOUT PAINKILLER!!!. Take your fingernail and push it against the roof of your mouth as hard as you can stand it. Now just imagine it's a needle piercing through. That was one of the worst pains I ever had!!

Yeah, I cracked my two front teeth in half after a failed bike jump off a makeshift ramp in seventh grade. I required a root canal, which wasn't that bad, but the initial shot in the gums was torturous... as was the end, when the dentist had to cauterize my freshly cut nerve with a red-hot metal poker. omg

I was four years old and tried to put a hole in a belt with a piece of broken mirror. The belt slipped and I cut my wrist right at the good part. I got twelve stitches and a lifelong scar.

I fell into a pool of crocodiles. Twice actually. The first time I killed them all with my bare hands. The second time I took them home for tea. They're still in the house somewhere.

eheheh, my amusing stories usually involve fooballs/soccer balls.

-When I was 5 my friend through a ball in my face and my 2 fron teeth fell out.

-At 9 years old, I tripped over a soccer ball in my garden and broke my left arm so bad that its never gone properly straight since.

-At 15 I was playing in a soccer match and I went 2 head the ball and ended up cracking this kids head instead. He went down crying his eyes out and I just got up and went 'phew!', ehehehe. Turns out later I broke my nose, so I went 2 watch West Ham in the afternoon 2 cheer myself up.

I think Im due another ball related incident soon. lol

Sometimes. But we argue over the housework and cooking so on occasion they're my home-enemies. We all share the same bed, tho'. smile

When my little sister was four, we were playing jumprope outside and I pulled the rope while she was standing on it. She fell and knocked her two front teeth out. They didn't come back in until she was ten.
